Topic: 7D suddenly not focusing properly (Read 4394 times)

Tareen

I have had my 7D for a few months and all of a sudden the images have become grainy and soft. They used to be clear and crisp but now they look terrible and I can't give the images to clients as there is no way you could print them. I took out both camera batteries to see if a "reboot" may work but still not right. Any advice? Attached is a picture showing the poor quality

It can be a camera issue, and it can be a lens issue.Removing both batteries doesn't do anything, except reset the clock. You can do a camera reset. Did you just upgrade the firmware? A camera reset is recommended after a firmware upgrade, it sometimes leaves the camera with nonsense settings that do not fit the new firmware.

What lens and settings? More than 1 lens affected? How about live focus (if that is sharp then maybe you need AFMA). Post some more examples with more data so some smart photogs can help you. Good luck and hope you can find the problem. Also, still under warranty...send to Canon for fix?
